Setting — Wedged in next to the New York Waterway docks, Port Imperial's extensive network of docks provides dramatic views across the Hudson to Manhattan and the Intrepid Air & Space Museum. Landside is well-known Arthur’s Landing restaurant, with its al fresco deck, a new high end, low-rise condo development and adjacent are the lovely pocket gardens created by New York Waterway.

Marina Notes — Modern, nicely maintained facilities. Fuel dock. Floating docks now take up to 35 feet; the fixed piers can manage larger vessels. This part of the Harbor has been silting in, diminishing depths to 3 and 4 feet. The constant flow of water taxis can create a significant roll. Arthur's Landing Restaurant offers a varied menu. Indoor/ Outdoor dining: high-end three-course meals, bar menu, brunch, kids' menu. $55 package: dinner, parking & RT ferry. Free dockage while dining. The aging docks will be rejuvenated once the onsite condo complex is completed in late '04.

Notable — The adjacent US Waterway Ferry has created a particularly attractive, flower bedecked landside facility which is easily accessible to marina guests. It's a four minute, $5/2.50 water taxi ride to West 38th Street in Midtown Manhattan 6am - 1am weekdays, from 8am Sat & Sun - $7/3.50; to Pier 11 at Wall Street 6am-8pm weekdays - $7/3.50; and to World Financial Center 6am-7:53pm weekdays. Broadway Bound package (dinner, theater, ferry) call 800-53FERRY. In the Ferry terminal is a snack bar - 7am-9pm, 8am-8pm week-ends, plus a bar. Also a one-day dry cleaner and photo shop. Climb the "million" switch-back steps to the town of Weehawken up on the Palisades for all kinds of shopping.
